Abstract
A method of and system for enabling enhanced interactions with a shared screen during a virtual communication session is carried out by enabling display of gridlines on the shared screen. The method may include receiving a request via a first control of a user interface to display gridlines on a portion of the user interface, the portion of the user interface displaying a shared screen during the communication session between at least two participants in the communication session where a first participant shares the screen with a second participant, and upon receiving the request, enabling display of the gridlines on the shared screen of each of the first and the second participants. The first control of the user interface may be an option provided by a virtual communication environment via which the communication session between the first and the second participants is established.
